ELKTON, MD. — About 60 Klansmen and skinheads who went to court for the right to march through Elkton paraded through downtown Saturday, prompting both jeers and cheers. Police in riot gear stood between the marchers and a crowd of about 1,000 spectators, both black and white. No arrests were reported. Chester Doles, grand dragon of the Maryland Invisible Empire Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, said the march was to protest drug dealing along the mile-long parade route through a mostly black neighborhood. But some of the blacks along the parade route taunted the marchers and accused the Klansmen of using drugs. About 70 blacks and whites held a unity rally at a nearby church.
